Anybody from Alpha 2 use Comcast in the US?

Herik · Mar 9, 2014

I live in the US; (Colorado). My internet connection is through 'Comcast', (the highest tier). Anybody using 'Comcast' from the US, on Alpha2? I'm not in the Alphas, and am wondering if there are connection problems. I'd like to get ahead of this.

I use Comcast, live in New Jersey, and am not having connectivity issues. I have BLAST (50/10 Mbps) and use a Motorola SB6120 cable modem and a Netgear WDR3700v1 with DD-WRT (build 23503) now installed.

I have UPnP disabled and manually port forward a port from my Netgear router to my gaming PC (Windows 7 64bit). Within my network my PC has a reserved IP address so it never changes through DHCP.

Actual Internet connectivity speeds tested using Speedtest.net are 57.74/11.67 Mbps.

I also use comcast, and it's fine

; I didn't have to do anything special. I'm in MA

I have Comcast and I live in California. I have the "Business Class" basic service and I had problems with the multiplayer. I had to forward some ports and set my computer up on a DMZ, then edit an xml file from Elite to get it to work.

Comcast in TN here and no probs at all as far as I can see.

I did have the 30/5 plan and it worked great. Just upgraded to 100/20 to improve my streaming and it still works great.

Only thing I don't like is the 300GB data cap.

I think the instancing system of E

is very much a work in progress because dropping instances is very common but I do not think this is related to my internet connection.

Many times I will see "dead" or "ghost" ships which are indestructible and flying in repetitive patterns.

Just out of curiosity, where in Tennessee? I thought I was the only Tennessean in the forums.

Nice to see that there is at least one more people who knows about this game in middle TN. I live in Brentwood.
